Years back in university, I had this very nosy colleague. At a point, I even thought she was a witch because she was always in my business. I caught her so many times trying to read my messages, my emails. It was a whole lot. At a point, she started asking me certain questions and I never really minded her because I thought they were hilarious. One thing I love about myself is I have a very private life and people only know what I want them to know. And it doesn’t surprise me that she was mostly around me but never got any info so she had make things up.
One of the hilarious questions she asked me was about an airline when I used to have so many messages about fight cancellation. I used to cancel flights my dad booked for me just to take bus and thankfully, my parents never found out because they used my details for everything. According to my dad, my school was too far for me to travel by bus but as someone who loved traveling by bus, I didn’t mind. There’s also the part where I was traveling by bus because of this boy I liked but let’s pretend I didn’t say that.
So when she saw those messages and didn’t even understand why I would want to cancel my flights, she started asking me questions. She didn’t buy the whole “I like to travel by bus theory and as someone who runs her mouth, I wasn’t ready to tell her about the other “boy”reason.
There was this day that I went to class and my closest friend on campus started hailing me “Heiress of Passion Air”. I laughed it off because that particular friend of mine knew all about my flight cancellations. And he also knew it was PassionAir. Now it began being weird when another colleague said the same thing. You know how someone says something but you don’t really realize what’s happening until someone else says it? Yes that’s what happened.
The funny part about that day was that I dressed so formal to class and looked like an air hostess. I later found out they girl went around telling people I was the daughter of the owner of Passion Air but I’ve been living a normal life so that nobody will find out my real identity. You should have seen me shouting “Amen” and laughing so hard afterwards like my life depended on it.
None of it made sense and I still don’t know how she could forge that thing from just fight cancellation messages. Up till now, some of my colleagues call me Heiress of PassionAir and I just laugh it off because is it the same me that hasn’t eaten for two days? Ey.
